Visual Studio 2010数据库项目部署

Question

In Visual Studio 2010, it's possible to create "deployment packages" for your projects. For web applications, you can right-click the project, and choose "Build Deployment Package"

However for "Database Projects", there is no "Build Deployment Package" option. There's "Build", and "Deploy". When you check the properties of a Database project, under the "Deploy" tab, you can create a deployment script. This is supposed to generate a create-database.sql script that some DBA on another team can run and deploy your database (synonymous with an IT person importing a deployment package for a web application into IIS)

But when I build my solution, including the database project, I don't see the create-database.sql script anywhere? What's going on here? Why is the database deployment different than web application deployment?

What is the deployment process supposed to be?

Answer 1

The deployment script isn't created when you build the solution. You need to select 'Deploy' from the build menu, then the script will be created according to your project settings.
